3 Ways to Be a Super-Hero

My daughter is in LOVE with the Hippie Tote I made last week, and even though I have lots of requests for more from my other daughters and their friends, I have been trying to make some headway in my house - it's a wreck and I can't even set up for Christmas!

Oh! Did I tell you that I am going to have another Give-Away this week?

However, it takes me forever to get anything done, because I get so EASILY DISTRACTED (see above, lol).

In fact, recently I have been enlisted to be the newest super hero...Easily-Distracted Woman!

How did I do that?  Nice of you to ask!  By doing a few things...

#1.  Making MORE cookies... (recipe adapted from HERE)

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Craisin Cookies adapted from Smitten Kitchen

#2.  Making some pretty scarves...

 #3.  And I have ALSO been ignoring my cleaning and decorating because I've been using digital scrapbooking software, which I will be posting about here in the next few days.  I started playing around with digital scrap-booking after I went to that "crop" in the spring, because I just loved that I could create beautiful images and vignettes using my photos that I have in my computer.  I can't wait to show off what I'm working on!

So stayed tuned for THAT, and my next GIVE-AWAY!!

 

Infinity Scarf Inspiration

Two weeks ago I was on Simply Step Back, a terrific website that *ALWAYS* has inspiring ideas. On this particular day, Sarah, the blogger, was showcasing scarf tutorials that she loved. I love scarves so I quickly followed each link. Here is Sarah's blog:

I immediately fell in love with the Infinity Scarf. I have a knitted Infinity Scarf but never thought to make one out of fabric. Let me tell you, it is simple and beautiful.

The photo at the top shows one of my daughters wearing the first one I made. She came home from college to visit and quickly claimed it as hers (and there went that black Pashmina, too, I wonder if that went with her...)

Since then I've made several more, as the rest of the girls in the family share them with me!

You can find the tutorial on this site:

Amy at H is for Handmade gives simple instructions for this so I don't need to redo her great post. Just follow along on her site and you will have it done in just a few minutes.

I hope you get the chance to be creative today!
